Jekyll Island Golf Club - Indian Mound Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Jekyll Island Golf Club is Georgia's largest public golf facility, offering three 18-hole courses and a nine-hole course. Two of the 18-hole courses, Pine Lakes and Indian Mound, have similar characteristics since they sit side by side. Both are younger than the Oleander, which is considered the toughest of the three and served as host to the Georgia Open for four years. The Indian Mound Course is the shortest of the three at just under 6,500 yards from the back tees but that is not to say you won't run into a fair amount of challenges. The layout features lengthy par 5s that you wouldn't expect given the yardage, and the par 4s offer scoring opportunities for those who take advantage of the short shots into the green. The Indian Mound Course's main challenges are the undulating greens and abundance of sand.

Pace of play is awful
My tee time was at 10:08. The starter had me wait for over half an hour to pair me with someone. They refuse to let me play as a single even though there was no one to pair me with. Groups in front of me were hitting 10 balls per person on each hole, which I know the course can’t help but this was multiple groups. Course conditions were mediocre. Greens were in nice shape but very slow. Most tee boxes were in good shape but a few were entirely covered in sand. Most of the staff was very helpful and kind.
Expected better
Not a bad course. We just expected better. Personnel were very helpful and courteous. Restaurant was more like bar food island style. Greens had some bald spots. Pace of play slow (for us). Fairways normal for a sand based course. Not a bad layout. Locals very friendly and welcoming to the course. We never got a chance to play other courses so we cannot compare others in the area.
Plan on lots of waiting in afternoon
We’ve played this course several times and the pace of play has been slow, but not as slow as this time. With a 3:40 tee time, we didn’t tee off until 2:50. There were two foursomes ahead of us that included obvious non-golfers. The one immediately in front of us spent much more than the regulation 3 minutes looking for balls on the second hole, so caused a backup right from the beginning. The course needs an on course ranger. Since our “home” course is impeccably maintained (and notably challenging) with rangers on busy days, I’m basing my comparison on that experience. However, at the end of the 18th hole (which we didn’t play as we ran out of time before the 7 pm closing), was a sign that noted “Pace of play, 4.5 hours.” The course and greens were in fairly good condition with fewer damage from the resident armadillos than last year.
Pace of play
Everything was great really enjoyed the course… my only two things was the pace of play was slow and wish they offered more or better stuff from the cart lady beside that it was awesome
Never Played But was Charged
This course appeared under my reservations while we were playing Sanctuary. I never booked it and my cc was charged.

Fabulous Course
Loved the course. Would definitely play on again and again
Indian Mounds is in really good condition
Indian Mounds is in really good condition at this time. Greens are nicely maintained and putt true with subtle breaks. Fairways have nice grass where the golf balls set nice. Stay out of the traps if possible! Very soft sand with egg lies. Close your sand wedge and hope for the best with roll. Best value for the dollar at this time in the Golden Isles and in super condition. Great twosome!

Typo in review. Tee time was 2:40, not 3:40.
